ABC News app reviews

The View 1/5

By TWC831

I Am Totally Appalled at your Continuance of Allowing the Anti-CHRISTian remarks from the View - Especially Joy - If you take no Actions I refuse to watch ABC any longer 😡

won’t open 1/5

By Sharonbetsy

have latest app and now all of the sudden it won’t open. Grrrr i like this app but it needs a bug fix!

App is Only Ok 2/5

By Suddndaze

The layout and swipe functions of the app are not good. The app kept jumping around when I was trying to read some stories. The video at the top of the stories is worthless. Please have an announcer give a 60 second briefing of the story instead of having to read some lines in a video with horrible background music playing.
The only redeeming value I find with the app is the audio news. I wish ABC would keep to the facts instead of their opinions with the stories but I guess that is to be expected.
Overall- the app fails in a good satisfactory app
The Listen feature is nice. Two stars until they work out the layout issues, swipe feature, and video content in the articles.

Journalism? Keep Looking 1/5

By mhpdfp

For a network touting Made in America you sure wouldn’t know a single job was created the last year or that unemployment was at all time lows. Guess their too busy looking for Russians that aren’t there.

Irritating videos 1/5

By Obsydian6569

I am sick and tired of videos that start by themselves and won't stop!

It is a good app 5/5

By vbasb

The app is the best I have ever seen. It can help me with my English.it's very useful👍👍.Love it

Consider the source 1/5

By Ed471

I might rely on this app more if the agency behind it had better credibility

Utter Garbage! 1/5

By Langurss

Ancient technology and prone to crashes. But worse than that: utterly biased and left leaning opinions - versus real news. Try reporting real news responsibly.
Overrated, pathetic talent, lousy programming and biased opinions make this a poor and laughable source of news. Blatantly biased, vile and divisive perspectives from a collection of loopy moon-bats. They are wholly committed to see the country fail - how patriotic!
Look at their horrendous reviews! How do they stay in business?
Please wake up - or better yet - do the country a favor and go out of business!

Frozen articles 2/5

By JordJP

There’s a section on the main screen labeled “interests” that only has 3 articles, all dated August 22nd 2017. I can’t get it to go away or update. Extremely annoying!!!

Fake news 1/5

By k.youssif

I’ve been a loyal viewer of ABC news for years, but I’ve decided this company is truly bias on the fair reporting of President Trump! I’ve turned to FOX for more fair reporting. #MAGA

Glitch 3/5

By Ejaazi

New update causes app to be slower and the imessage is not working.

Media controlled by military industrial complex / corporations 1/5

By 1-$

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Only US and Canada 1/5

By Umadbro!

You can’t listen to the slacker unless you are in the US or Canada.... stupid app

Very biased and one sided 1/5

By Hicks81

Very biased and one sided

Would be better... 3/5

By dm2587

Would be better if you could choose the category/topics you would like to see. I could care less to see Obama’s opinions about stuff (under Interests). He’s not the current President.

Unremovable notifications 1/5

By BeththeChef

What is wrong with this app, many things!!!
The most annoying is that I can’t delete the notifications that show up. I have refreshed and updated but it still shows 19 notifications every single day! 😡
Fix it or I’m deleting the app!

Message question 2/5

By GerardinNY

There is a red one appearing on the app indicating that I have some kind of message. I can’t figure out what it is indicating and can’t clear it. Anyone?

Can’t get rid of notifications 1/5

By Manilow,Barry

This app keeps telling me I have six notifications, but I don’t know how to get rid of them. I click through and read articles, but it still says I have six notifications when I close the app.

Sancalpa 5/5

By sancalpa

Much better than cable news. Less biased.

Notifications 2/5

By catdad513

The app keeps showing that I have 15 notifications but when I open the app, there’s nothing there. It must be a glitch.

Great App 5/5

By Desert Hounds Productions

Thanks for all you guys do God Bless from the Johnson Family to the ABC Family.

New update is annoying 2/5

By Swimmer-Bear

I lost article that I had saved as reference. In addition, I have a flag that I can not get rid of. The email that you are suppose to use to report problems is invalid.

Shouldn’t have to have “cable” to watch full episodes 1/5

By patrickvernon

When on the app & wanting watch a show in full episode mode it seems crazy that the app does not acknowledge the existence (present & since TVs creation) of OVER THE AIR television. Unless I am missing a way for over the air viewers can watch (it appears only Pay TV providers are allowed) this makes your app utterly useless to me.
How fortunate I am the CBS News & NBC News don’t do this !
Embed ads & let us watch !!!!

Latest Update? 2/5

By mrconvertible

Not sure why but with the new update, my app icon indicates 17 new notifications without a way to clear them??? I have opened every folder I can and checked in settings without success....
Am I the only one??

Needs improvement 1/5

By Traveler6543

App will not open

Problem with starting the app 1/5

By Pinky Stanseski

On my iPhone 7 Plus, this version of the app crashes when I start it.

App will not open 2/5

By ChuckInWC

Just updated the newest version, and it wil not open. It just crashes as soon as I open it. Please fix, ABC News is the best!!!

Real time and accurate, no speculation 5/5

By Sandy are

News is reported fairly and accurately. No speculation as to the why’s and how comes. The facts - period. That’s the way news should be reported. I LIKE IT!!!

Good free news source 5/5

By Newt1111

Very good

Used to be credible 2/5

By Dennis in California

I used to love ABC with Peter Jennings. Now I can’t even rely on ABC for accurate reporting. Spamming my phone with things like “What is the White House afraid of?” This is not news. Please just provide facts and then add your opinion if you must. I keep giving them another chance but I’m afraid I’ll have to uninstall soon.

Awful. The new app is too much “in your face” 1/5

By DroneXgo

I long for the old app that focused more on Reading the stories. Is there a way to get it back?
Plus, your 30 second ads are TOO LONG. I have to quit the app and try again w/o watching any videos.

ABC News 5/5

By Brion J's Tunes

Great reporting on current news issues!

Ad takes you hostage 1/5

By Stung by the Update

In the middle of an article the Delsym ad locks you into their site with no intuitive way to exit except to reboot your device. It also tries to force you to accept their cookies. Thus, I will never use Delsym and it’s making me hate the ABC News app!

Thank you so much because u let me know about news 4/5

By mikica9

Thank you

On Apple TV 2/5

By JeremiahBui

I like the format but the volume boost on the commercials is insane. It’s made me so mad I wrote this review.

By Joe Baston

Since I was 7yrs old ,I’m 72yrs old now with Ch7

The News 5/5

By Nana lee 16

Always on top of things !!!

Still crashes frequently 2/5

By CreataKnickKname

The news provided and the layout is great. However, even the latest update still crashes on my iPhone 7 almost every day. Touch an article to start reading and the app just closes instead. Open it again and it works fine for a day or two. Or not. It’s getting annoying. I would give this app 5 stars otherwise.

Love the ABC news app 5/5

By Bunny Boggs

The ABC news app always has the latest greatest up to the minute news. With several different options for what you want to see or hear or hear and see 😊

Daily updates 4/5

By j. bock

I check abc news daily and appreciate the accuracy and parsimony in your reporting.

Trust 4/5

By StormyBud

I trust ABC to give me true factual information. I feel David Muir is the best anchor since Peter Jennings.
